Reasons You Should Spend Time With Your Co-Workers After Hours

You may find that spending time with your colleagues doesn’t sound like that much of a good idea; I mean you have to spend most of your day with them as it is, why would you then spend more time after work too? There are actually a few good reasons why you should. One of the reasons being that, because you have to spend so much time with them in a ‘professional’ setting at work, you should definitely take the time to get to know them outside of work too.

Here are 5 good reasons why

1) If you work 9-5, then you’re spending most of your time at work compared to at home, so it’s even more important to make sure that those 8 hours spent at work are somewhat enjoyable. 2) You dislike your work colleague because he/she is always moaning at you? You might think differently if you were able to get to know the person in a different setting. 3) You might find yourself working better as a team if you’re more comfortable around them. 4) You might feel more open to talking about things that bother you 5) You will enjoy going to work more.
